Color Mutation Percentage
Charts

Here are a few examples of the more common
color mutation crosses and the expected percentages of offspring that
will carry or exhibit the various colors. Remember that these are overall
averages, and that it is not unusual to find, for example, a heterozygous
beige male that produces more of one color than another instead of half
beige and half standard as would be expected, just as it is not unusual
to find a male that produces more offspring of one sex than the other.

There are many other crosses, but this will
provide a basic understanding of many of the most popular crosses and
percentages expected. Please the see section titled Color
Mutation Hybrids for more on hybrids.
